In May 2002, 24-year-old Evelyn Hernandez vanished from San Francisco along with her 5-year-old son, Alex. Evelyn was eight and a half months pregnant — just weeks away from giving birth to a much wanted baby boy. Two months later, Evelyn’s body was pulled from the San Francisco Bay. Her unborn baby was gone. Alex was gone. Neither has ever been found. Seven months later, in the same city, Laci and Connor Peterson disappeared — a case that would dominate headlines around the world. But Evelyn and Alex’s story was pushed to the shadows. Forgotten by many. Her case remains unsolved and although her boyfriend was interviewed by police, questions about who killed Evelyn and where Alex and her baby are, remain to this day. This is the story of Evelyn and Alex Hernandez.

Episode 74 - Allison and Marie-Josée Benitez
Send us a textIn July 2013, 53-year-old Marie-Josée Benitez and her 19-year-old daughter Allison vanished without a trace from their home in Southern France. The last person to see them alive was Francisco Benitez — Marie-Josée’s estranged husband and Allison’s father. He claimed they’d left for a trip to Toulouse. They haven’t been seen since. What followed was a chilling chain of revelations. Francisco was already linked to the disappearance of another woman in 2004. Just weeks after his wife and daughter vanished, he took his own life. Then, investigators discovered traces of Allison’s blood in a freezer at the military barracks where Francisco worked.Marie-Josée and Allison have never been found. But the evidence pointed to one clear theory – that they had been killed by father and estranged husband Francisco.
